Investing always involves a degree of risk. The wise investor assesses the risk-reward relationship before investing or allocating funds, an assessment that involves reviewing fund prospectuses. It is strongly recommended that investors read the mutual fund prospectuses for relevant investments before making any investment selections. Prospectuses are available from Pension Systems Corporation (818-501-4015), any other NASD Broker-Dealer, or from the mutual fund companies themselves; mutual fund company telephone numbers are provided with their investment listings.

An NASD Broker-Dealer, Registered Investment Advisor, BD agent or IA rep may only transact business in a particular state after licensure or satisfying qualifications requirements of that state, or only if they are excluded or exempted from the state's broker-dealer, investment advisor, BD agent or IA rep requirements, as the case may be. Some states allow NASD-Registered Broker-Dealers to perform a limited number of transactions without state registration.

Follow-up, individualized responses to consumers in a particular state by a broker-dealer, investment advisor, BD agent or IA rep that involve either the effecting or attempting to effect transactions in securities or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, as the case may be, shall not be made without first complying with the state's broker-dealer, investment advisor, BD agent or IA rep requirements, or pursuant to an applicable state exemption or exclusion.

If an investment advisor is registered with the SEC, states may not require registration, licensing, or qualification of the investment advisor or his or her supervised persons, except that states may license, register or otherwise qualify IA reps who have a place of business located within the state.

If an investment advisor does not qualify for SEC registration, in most states his or her actions are governed by state laws. State registration authority is limited, however, by a national de minimize standard that prohibits the laws of any state requiring registration, licensing or qualification as an investment advisor if the advisor does not have a place of business located in the state and during the prior 12 months had five or fewer clients residing in the state.

Federal and state securities laws are designed to ensure that, prior to any direct communication between a broker-dealer or investment advisor and a prospective client residing in a particular state, the broker-dealer or investment advisor must first be registered in the state, or must qualify for an exemption from such requirement.

Internet communications of regulated investments must contain a mechanism, including and without limitation, technical "firewalls" or other implemented policies and procedures, designed reasonably to ensure that prior to any subsequent, direct communication with prospective customers or clients in any state, said broker-dealer, investment adviser, BD agent or IA rep is first registered in the state or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from such requirement. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to relieve a state registered broker-dealer, investment advisor, BD agent or IA rep from any applicable securities registration requirement in any state.

Internet communications cannot involve either effecting or attempting to effect transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, as may be, in any state over the Internet, but is limited to the dissemination of general information on products and services.

For information concerning the licensure status or disciplinary history of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, BD agent or IA rep, a consumer should contact his or her state securities law administrator or the NASD at 800-289-9999 or www.nasd.com (click on Investor Services, then About Your Broker, then The NASD Public Disclosure Program).
